Over the years we have all heard some strange phrases - and you wonder - where the hell did that come from.

Example:
"I would give (or trade) my left nut for that"

why the left nut?
who would want to trade for that?
what is the value of a nut?
I couldn't find anything online to give me a reasonable price estimate.

let's get some more examples going - or an explanation for this one.

    As the lieutenant in the old war movie, Big Red One said "That's why God gave you two."

    ...so you could trade them with your pals like baseball cards.

    Bad enough it's been officially recognized as a word, it's a phrase now too?

    Maintenance guy at work said "it's the cat's ass", I had ever heard that. Same day, I read the same phrase in a random book that had nothing to do with cats or asses.
    I win.

    Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
  • Piss like a race horse
    Actually there's truth in this statement. Trainers give their horses diuretics on the eve of race day to she'd water weight.

  • haha - that is awesome --- i still highly doubt anyone would take a 'left nut' for one of those cars.

    Are right nuts worth anything?

    the right nut really gets the shaft (pun intended)

  • Put your money where your mouth is! What the hell does this mean?!? :roll:
    It's cousin to the old adage,
    'Your mouth is writing cheques your butt can't cash.'
    Basically, it means someone has been talking smack,
    maybe bragging on themselves.
    They talk a lot, which costs nothing,
    but are afraid to place an actual money bet where
    they could lose.

    When you tell someone to 'put their money
    where their mouth is',
    you're asking them to prove their words with actions.

    Cheers.
    'Cause you don't give blood and take it back again.
  • Pipe Dream...... please explain how that got started and what it is supposed to mean
    Think caterpillar in 'Alice in Wonderland'.

    A pipe dream is a reference to a hallucination
    experienced through use of an opium pipe,
    though nowadays it just refers to something
    unrealistic.
    Anyone who's ever had a conversation with
    stoners can attest to the irrationality of pipe dreams...
    "One day man, I'm gonna fill my whole swimming pool
    with Chunky Monkey + just... y'know..."

    Cheers.
    'Cause you don't give blood and take it back again.

    "For Pete's Sake"

    who the hell is 'Pete'? We know of 'christ' 'god' and 'jesus'...who is 'Pete'?

    and 'Jimmy-rig'...who is Jimmy? Pete's brother?
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
